The crime-fighting series — which endured its first axing at the hands of Fox in 2011 — has not been renewed for a 26th season by Lifetime, the cabler it currently calls home, TV Guide Magazine reports.

Once again, host and creator John Walsh‘s production company is said to be looking into shopping AMW elsewhere. Walsh, meanwhile, is staying in business with Lifetime on a new pilot titled John Walsh Investigates. The project will continue to showcase the host’s skills as a victims’ advocate.

• NBC is putting Girlfriend in a Coma to sleep… for now. Per Deadline, the network’s comedy pilot has been pushed back after difficultly replacing leading lady Christina Ricci, who recently exited the project. A fave of NBC execs, Coma — about a woman who awakens from a prolonged unconsciousness to discover she has a teenage daughter — will now be developed off-cycle, with filming tentatively slated for June.

• Vanessa Lachey has joined Dads, Seth MacFarlane’s new live-action comedy for Fox. The six-episode series centers on two video game entrepreneurs, Warner (The Mindy Project’s Thomas Dewey) and Eli (Buffy the Vampire Slayer‘s Seth Green), whose lives are turned upside-down when their fathers move in with them. Per Deadline, former TRL host Lachey will play Warner’s wife.

• Martin Scorsese is teaming with Miramax to develop a series based on the acclaimed director’s 2002 film Gangs of New York. The TV version will focus on the more vast subject of the birth of organized crime in America.

Thanks for info on Dads. In my opinion if the network doesn’t have any more trust than 6 episodes, then I’ll pass. I’m not investing my time and loyalty anymore to these half-a$%#d attempts at entertainment. I am no longer putting up with 6-10-13 episodes of a program I enjoy being gone 39+ weeks after each run. There used to be another name for these: min-series. A series was 22-25 episodes, and not broken in two by 4 months of so-called hiatus. Why won’t you call out the networks for this abuse? Yes, abuse.

You’re interpreting this wrong. Dads’ six-episode order is what’s known as a “blind commitment”, meaning that it’s at the same stage as a pilot. It still has to actually get picked up to series, and when it does, it will almost certainly be upgraded to 13 or 22 episodes.
